THE INTRIGUING PREMISE
In the vein of her Inside Out series, New York Times Bestselling Author Lisa Renee Jones returns with the dark, seductive world of the Necklace Trilogy...
Allison Wright is delivered a package meant for a different Allison—a unique, expensive necklace. Determined to right the confusion, she seeks out the proper recipient, a journey that takes her to the doorstep of Tyler Hawk, a good looking, recluse billionaire who deals with fine collectibles such as the necklace. She also learns that Allison, his employee, quit her job registering and restoring his vast assortment of collectibles. Ironically, Allison is the daughter of a rather famous archeologist who is also employed by a local museum, and her love of such things has her jumping at the opportunity. Soon she is spending her evening and weekends immersed in the job the other Allison left behind.
As Allison begins diving into the job
for Tyler, secrets about the other Allison begin to surface that have her
concerned for her safety. And as she starts hunting for answers, her path
crosses with the enigmatic famous author who has a business endeavor with her
boss. Dash Black is a man who is dark and edgy, intense and yet quiet. Funny
and yet somehow reserved. He draws her in, sets her pulse racing, and her body
on fire. She knows there’s a dangerous edge to him, but she can’t seem to care.
She’s addicted to everything he is and she simply can’t turn away, no matter
what the cost. As Allison is drawn into the life and mystery of the other
Allison, a mystery demands answers and passion burns hot. Allison will travel a
path that leads to shocking truths and a side of herself she never knew
existed.
MY OPINION
I am in love with the setting as Allison embeds herself in the former Hawk Legal's employee's role, trying to figure out her own life and overcoming her fears while attempting to decipher the circumstances that surround the other Allison's disappearance. Was it willing? Who else is involved? And meanwhile she's carrying this mysterious jewel that started it all. So much intrigue! I love it, really.
Then there is this enigmatic male character she meets in a lift, all swagger and impressive deeds. The slow-burn relationship is masterfully carried out until it erupts in sultry passion and surprising feelings. My favourite part is when Allison is speculating over clues about the other girl. She has family issues that haunt her, though she is fighting for her own freedom. She stands up to an overly intense boss who, in my opinion, is a show stealer, Tyler Hawk. No offense to the hero, Dash Black, who on his own is quite the hunk.
The cliffhanger is messing with my nerves. It is preceded by an explosive turn of events and the story ends on a dangerous note. Eager for the next book!

WHAT ABOUT AN EXCERPT, BABEL?
Yes, please do send the press kit etc. And the below
excerpt is a little longer.
His
eyes soften and he catches my hand. “Come here.”
I
let him ease me closer, and when he pulls me onto his lap again, I say, “Am I
going to end up with my hands behind my back unable to touch you again?”
“Not
unless you want me to tie you up and tease you.”
There’s
no denying the idea of Dash in control and me at his mercy, is a delicious
prospect I won’t even try to deny. And so, I don’t deny anything. Instead, my
arms slide around his neck, and I lean into him. “Not this time, Dash. Please.”
“Well
now, as long as you say please, you can have just about anything you want.”
With
his promise that I can have anything I want if I say please, Dash’s hands slide
under the T-shirt I’m wearing and up my back. Molding me close, my breasts
pressed to his hard chest.
“For
instance,” he says, his voice low, a rough sandpaper tease on my nerve endings.
“I’ll lick you anywhere you want to be licked if you just say please.”
I’m
really, truly a rather shy person and no one has ever spoken to me so boldly as
Dash has this night, but I’m different with Dash I’m starting to realize. More
comfortable in my own skin and sexuality. I just can’t find it in me to hide
from this or him. “What about where I want to kiss you?”
“Where
do you want to kiss me?” he asks, squeezing my backside and Lord help me I can
feel the thick ridge of his erection between my thighs and through his jeans I
want to be gone now.
“Everywhere,”
I assure him.
His
lips curve and he says, “Is that right?”
“Oh
yes, but you resist me, Dash Black.”
“I
assure you, Allison, I am not resisting you.” Somehow him calling me Allison in
this moment is more intimate than Allie, and I don’t know why. “I want nothing
more than your hands and mouth on my body,” he says. “But you’ll have to allow
me to kiss you everywhere first.” He drags the T-shirt over my head and by the
time it’s on the ground his hands are on my breasts, and when my hands cover
his hands, his finger strokes my nipples.
My
fingers catch long strands of his light brown hair and I tilt his gaze to mine.
Any control I’d thought to gain in that moment is lost when Dash pinches my
nipples, sending darts of pleasure straight to my sex. I moan and he captures
the sound with his mouth, kissing me with the kind of passion that a girl
thinks she will never know because it can’t be real.
Oh,
but it is. It so is.
My hands tunnel into his hair
and when his gaze lifts to mine, I find hunger there. So much hunger, and all
for me. He catches my hands and presses them behind me, bracing them on his
powerful thighs, his arm wrapping my waist, securing me. Watching me now, he
cups my breast and leans in, licking my nipple, sensations rippling through me,
my sex clenching with impossible need, need for him.
